Start of God's Day at Sunrise, Part 4 of 5

### Posting revised on 2019-11-2, see below ###

I thought I was done as of Part 3 of 4, but I found more evidence that God's day begins at sunrise, so here we go with Part 4.

Seventh Witness

In Genesis 15:1-18 where Abram does his part of the covenant during the day (birds are flying), then he was left waiting for God to respond.  Dusk comes, then sunset, then Abram falls into a deep sleep, then God responded to Abram's sacrifice.  In Verse 15:17, the Bible confirms that the sun has gone down and it was dark.
In Verse 15:18, the Bible says "In the same day, God made a covenant with Abram..."

When the Bible says "in the same day...", which day is it referring to?  It can only be referring to the daylight hours when Abram was sacrificing the animals in the light of day, and chasing away the scavengers.

Between when Abram laid out the sacrifice till God offered the covenant in Verse 15:18, there was a sunset.  If the day runs from sunset to sunset, then the sacrifice was on one day, and the covenant in Verse 15:18 after the sun went down would be on the next day.

Note that the Bible DOES NOT say "In the next day, God made a covenant with Abram...".  The Bible DOES SAY "In the same day, God made a covenant with Abram..."

The only way for those two events could be within the same day if for the sundown not to be the demarcation point between this day and the next.  That means the demarcation point is sunrise to sunrise.

In other words, Abram does the sacrifice in the day, then sunset and dark, then God does His part of Covenant in the same day, even though sunset occurred between the 2 parts, so sundown doesn't separate 1 day from another.

All other Bible verses could be reasonably interpreted as both cases, sunrise or sunset, so they do not help decide this issue.

Eigth Witness

Ancient Babylon practiced a lunar calendar, with the day running from sundown to sundown.  The corrupted calendar of Rabbinic Jews of today uses Babylonian names for the months (contrary to the Bible), say the year started in September/October like the Babylonians (contrary to Bible-based Spring of the Year), and likely the corrupted sundown to sundown day definition.

Ninth Witness

The ninth witness is God. God likes those who rise early in the morning to pray. God also says we are children of the light, which is the day.

Tenth Witness

The 10th witness is human nature.  We humans rise refreshed from sleep and start a new day at or about dawn, as do most animals. Few people start their day at sundown, usually only when forced to do so by job and/or employers, or criminals (who are children of the dark).

Eleventh Witness

In the year, there are 4 seasons:  Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter.  In God's calendar, the new year begins in the Spring, at the vernal Spring Equinox.  Most governments begin their new financial year in the Spring (April 1st).  In our day, there are 4 "seasons" too:  Sunrise, day, sunset, and night.  There is an analogy here, comparing the day to the year.  If we start the new year at Spring, which of the 4 periods of the day would be equivalent to Spring?  Obviously, sunrise is the equivalent of Spring.  Therefore this witness says the day starts at sunrise.

Twelfth Witness

In Exodus 12:1-51, God commands, Moses hears and transmits God's commandments, then the Hebrews obey by holding their first Passover.  The relevant Bible passage is long, so I'll summarize the key points below:

12 And the Lord spake unto Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt saying,2 This month shall be unto you the beginning of months: it shall be the first month of the year to you.3 Speak ye unto all the congregation of Israel, saying, In the tenth day of this month they shall take to them every man a lamb, according to the house of their fathers, a lamb for an house:4 And if the household be too little for the lamb, let him and his neighbour next unto his house take it according to the number of the souls; every man according to his eating shall make your count for the lamb.5 Your lamb shall be without blemish, a male of the first year: ye shall take it out from the sheep, or from the goats:6 And ye shall keep it up until the fourteenth day of the same month: and the whole assembly of the congregation of Israel shall kill it in the evening.7 And they shall take of the blood, and strike it on the two side posts and on the upper door post of the houses, wherein they shall eat it.8 And they shall eat the flesh in that night, roast with fire, and unleavened bread; and with bitter herbs they shall eat it.9 Eat not of it raw, nor sodden at all with water, but roast with fire; his head with his legs, and with the purtenance thereof.10 And ye shall let nothing of it remain until the morning; and that which remaineth of it until the morning ye shall burn with fire.11 And thus shall ye eat it; with your loins girded, your shoes on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and ye shall eat it in haste: it is the Lord's passover.12 For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the Lord.13 And the blood shall be to you for a token upon the houses where ye are: and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and the plague shall not be upon you to destroy you, when I smite the land of Egypt.14 And this day shall be unto you for a memorial; and ye shall keep it a feast to the Lord throughout your generations; ye shall keep it a feast by an ordinance for ever.15 Seven days shall ye eat unleavened bread; even the first day ye shall put away leaven out of your houses: for whosoever eateth leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that soul shall be cut off from Israel.16 And in the first day there shall be an holy convocation, and in the seventh day there shall be an holy convocation to you; no manner of work shall be done in them, save that which every man must eat, that only may be done of you.17 And ye shall observe the feast of unleavened bread; for in this selfsame day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt: therefore shall ye observe this day in your generations by an ordinance for ever.18 In the first month, on the fourteenth day of the month at even, ye shall eat unleavened bread, until the one and twentieth day of the month at even.19 Seven days shall there be no leaven found in your houses: for whosoever eateth that which is leavened, even that soul shall be cut off from the congregation of Israel, whether he be a stranger, or born in the land.20 Ye shall eat nothing leavened; in all your habitations shall ye eat unleavened bread.21 Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel, and said unto them, Draw out and take you a lamb according to your families, and kill the passover.22 And ye shall take a bunch of hyssop, and dip it in the blood that is in the bason, and strike the lintel and the two side posts with the blood that is in the bason; and none of you shall go out at the door of his house until the morning.23 For the Lord will pass through to smite the Egyptians; and when he seeth the blood upon the lintel, and on the two side posts, the Lord will pass over the door, and will not suffer the destroyer to come in unto your houses to smite you.24 And ye shall observe this thing for an ordinance to thee and to thy sons for ever.25 And it shall come to pass, when ye be come to the land which the Lord will give you, according as he hath promised, that ye shall keep this service.26 And it shall come to pass, when your children shall say unto you, What mean ye by this service?27 That ye shall say, It is the sacrifice of the Lord's passover, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt, when he smote the Egyptians, and delivered our houses. And the people bowed the head and worshipped.28 And the children of Israel went away, and did as the Lord had commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.29 And it came to pass, that at midnight the Lord smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle.30 And Pharaoh rose up in the night, he, and all his servants, and all the Egyptians; and there was a great cry in Egypt; for there was not a house where there was not one dead.31 And he called for Moses and Aaron by night, and said, Rise up, and get you forth from among my people, both ye and the children of Israel; and go, serve the Lord, as ye have said.32 Also take your flocks and your herds, as ye have said, and be gone; and bless me also.33 And the Egyptians were urgent upon the people, that they might send them out of the land in haste; for they said, We be all dead men.34 And the people took their dough before it was leavened, their kneadingtroughs being bound up in their clothes upon their shoulders.35 And the children of Israel did according to the word of Moses; and they borrowed of the Egyptians jewels of silver, and jewels of gold, and raiment:36 And the Lord gave the people favour in the sight of the Egyptians, so that they lent unto them such things as they required. And they spoiled the Egyptians.37 And the children of Israel journeyed from Rameses to Succoth, about six hundred thousand on foot that were men, beside children.38 And a mixed multitude went up also with them; and flocks, and herds, even very much cattle.39 And they baked unleavened cakes of the dough which they brought forth out of Egypt, for it was not leavened; because they were thrust out of Egypt, and could not tarry, neither had they prepared for themselves any victual.40 Now the sojourning of the children of Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, was four hundred and thirty years.41 And it came to pass at the end of the four hundred and thirty years, even the selfsame day it came to pass, that all the hosts of the Lord went out from the land of Egypt.42 It is a night to be much observed unto the Lord for bringing them out from the land of Egypt: this is that night of the Lord to be observed of all the children of Israel in their generations.43 And the Lord said unto Moses and Aaron, This is the ordinance of the passover: There shall no stranger eat thereof:44 But every man's servant that is bought for money, when thou hast circumcised him, then shall he eat thereof.45 A foreigner and an hired servant shall not eat thereof.46 In one house shall it be eaten; thou shalt not carry forth ought of the flesh abroad out of the house; neither shall ye break a bone thereof.47 All the congregation of Israel shall keep it.48 And when a stranger shall sojourn with thee, and will keep the passover to the Lord, let all his males be circumcised, and then let him come near and keep it; and he shall be as one that is born in the land: for no uncircumcised person shall eat thereof.49 One law shall be to him that is homeborn, and unto the stranger that sojourneth among you.50 Thus did all the children of Israel; as the Lord commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.51 And it came to pass the selfsame day, that the Lord did bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies.

The summary of key points in Exodus 12 are as follows:

• In Verse 6, on the 14th day of the 1st month, they are to take their blemish-free lamb, they kill the lamb in the evening, and collect its blood.
   
• The word "evening" is Hebrew word "ereb", (Strong's H6153), and is used in numerous place in the Bible:
• In Genesis 8:11, the dove comes back to Noah in the evening.  No dove flies in the pitch black of night, so evening would be best translated as "dusk".
   
• In Genesis 19:1, Lot meets two angels at the city gate.  All city gates are closed for security around sundown, so again the best translation would be "dusk", around sundown, before the city gates are closed.
   
• In Genesis 24:11, Abraham's servant watered the camels at the well outside city walls in the evening when the women came to the well to fetch water.  Women would not be outside the city gates after sundown as the gates would be closed, so again evening is best translated as "dusk", around sundown.
   
• In Genesis 24:63 Isaac went out to the field to meditate in the evening, and saw the  camels coming.  It would be difficult or impossible to be outside the city in the fields at night, and camels in the distance would be difficult or impossible to see.  Therefore dusk is again the best translation of "evening".
   
• Dusk (also known as twilight) is usually between the half hour before sunset, and the half hour after sunset.  Before dusk begins, it is the day.  After the sun sets, it is night.  In the 30 minutes immediately after sunset, it is simultaneously dusk and night.
    
• In Verse 8, God commands that they should roast and eat the slaughtered lamb "that night".  Night is differentiated from evening.  Night is after sunset, either dusk or when it's dark, city gates are closed, and you can't see outside without artificial light from a lamp, a fire, or a full moon.  In other words, slaughter in the late afternoon, then immediately roast and eat the lamb in the same night.
   
• In Verse 10, God instructs that nothing of the roast lamb must remain by morning (ie. sunrise).  All unconsumed meat has to be thrown into the fire on or before sunrise.
   
• In Verse 11, God commands it to be a "take-out" meal, eaten while standing, fully dressed, fully ready to depart at any second.  You are to eat in haste.  This is not a leisurely 12 course meal while lounging on couches like Egyptian pharaohs.  You must wolf your food down, as if your next bite will be your last.
   
• In Verse 12, God shares His plan that He will pass through that same night, killing all of Egypt's first born (humans &animal).
   
• In Verses 14-17, God describes the Feast of Unleavened Bread.  The Passover and Feast of Unleavened Bread share the common feature of eating only unleavened bread.
   
• In Verses 17-18, God says Feast of Unleavened Bread is 7 days, from the evening of the 14th, to the evening of the 21st day of the month.  I drew a chart to illustrate this,see Figure 1 below.  You will see that Unleavened Bread Festival isn't "Passover plus 7 additional days", the 7 days INCLUDES Passover.  This interpretation that the Festival of Unleavened Bread is 7 days duration (which includes Passover within these 7 days) is confirmed by Mark 14:12 and Luke 22:7.  Click on the diagram for a full size version of the diagram.

  

  Figure 1:   Timing for Passover & Unleavened Bread Festival

• In Verse 22, Moses instructs Israelites to spread the blood on the door posts, then go inside, close the door, roast & eat your Passover lamb, and don't come out until morning.
   
• In Verse 29, the Bible describes how the Destroyer Angel came at midnight on Passover night and killed all the firstborn of Egypt.
   
• In Verse 30, we learn that Pharaoh and all other Egyptian households rose up during the night and found their firstborn (whether human &/or animal) were dead.
   
• In Verse 31-32, Pharaoh called for Moses & Aaron during the night that all of Israel was to leave Egypt.Following God's commandments, we assume nobody came out to answer Pharaoh's call before sunrise of the next day.
   
• In Verse 33-36, we learn all of Egypt was anxious to have the Hebrews out of Egypt as soon as possible.  The Egyptians gave the Hebrews much gold, silver, cloth, and whatever else the Hebrews needed for their journey.
   
• Verses 37 tells that the Israelites left Egypt.  Verses 37, 38, 40,and 41 are concerning the packing up and leaving of Egypt.  Verse 39 describes how it came to be that the Israelites had unleavened dough when leaving Egypt, which they subsequently baked after having left Egypt.
   
• Verse 42 celebrates the night that the Israelites leave Egypt.
   
• "Selfsame day" is used in Exodus 12:17, 41, and 51 to describe everything happening in the same day.  In Verse 17, there is a defined linkage between Feast of Unleavened Bread and the day the Israelites left Egypt.  In Verse 41, there is a linkage between leaving Egypt exactly 430 years after entering.  In Verse 51, the linkage is not totally clear.  It appears that Exodus 12:51 ("...the selfsame day, that the Lord did bring the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt by their armies....") repeats Exodus 12:17 (..."this selfsame day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt...") for dramatic effect. Verses 17 and 51 seem to form a link between the first day of Unleavened Bread, Passover, death of all Egyptian firstborn, and the Israelites leaving Egypt.
   
• Note in Figure 1 above, there are two different usages of "day".  There  the calendar days, from the 14th day of the month to the 21st day of the month.  There is also the 24 hours of elapsed time (ie. a 24 hr day of elapsed time), whether it be all within the same calendar day, or spread over 2 different calendar days.  Passover and Unleavened Bread run from evening to evening, not aligned with the calendar day.  Why God chose this timing is unclear, but it is solely God's right to do so.
   
• Counting in elapsed time:
• Passover is from sundown to the following sunrise, approximately 12 hours in duration.
• Unleavened Bread is 7 days in duration.
• Counting in calendar days, assuming the day starts at sunrise:
• Passover is approx. 12 hours duration on the 14th day of the first month.
• Unleavened Bread is 7 days in duration, spread over 8 different calendar days (14th to 21st).
• Counting in calendar days, assuming the day starts at sunset:
• Passover is approx. 12 hours duration on the 15th day of the first month.
• Unleavened Bread is 7 days in duration, spread over 7 different calendar days (15th to 21st).

In Exodus 14:8, we learn:

"And the LORD hardened the heart of Pharaoh king of Egypt, and he pursued after the children of Israel: and the children of Israel went out with an high hand."

In Numbers 33:3, the Bible says:

"And they departed from Rameses in the first month, on the fifteenth day of the first month; on the morrow after the passover the children of Israel went out with an high hand in the sight of all the Egyptians."

From this, we know the Israelites left the Egyptian city of Rameses on the 15th day, a day after when the Passover lamb was killed on the 14th.  The Egyptians could see the Israelites, so it wasn't in the dark of night.

Deut 16:1 says:

"Observe the month of Abib, and keep the passover unto the LORD thy God: for in the month of Abib the LORD thy God brought thee forth out of Egypt by night."

Here we learn that the Israelites left Egypt at night.

 Deut 16:6 says:

"But at the place which the LORD thy God shall choose to place his name in, there thou shalt sacrifice the passover at even, at the going down of the sun, at the season that thou camest forth out of Egypt."

Here we learn that the lamb is sacrificed at even (ie. evening), at the going down of the sun.  Note that the sun is "going down", it's still in the process of setting, as contrasted with "after the sun has set".  This again is before sunset, and at dusk.  After the sun has set would be night.

The Jews of today define the start of the day as sunset, not sunrise.  Exactly when does the day start?  Dawn is before you can see any part of the sun.  The sun has risen when you can see any part of the sun.  The sun has set when you can no longer see any part of the sun.  Sunset is the earliest possible start of the day, and when 3 or more stars are visible in the night sky as the latest possible start of the next day, and the period in-between these two moments of time is "iffy".

Putting all of these verses together, like assembling a jigsaw puzzle, we get the following two possible cases:

• If we assume the day starts at sundown:
• The Passover lamb is slaughtered as the sun is going down on the 14th day, which is before sunset so as to comply with Exodus 12:6, and Deut 16:6.
   
• As soon as the sun sets, or after 3 stars are visible in the night sky, it's now the 15th day and Passover has started; as compliant with our assumption that the day starts at sundown, and Exodus 12:8.
   
• The Passover lamb is roasted and eaten on the night of the 15th day of the month.  This is compliant with Exodus 12:8 and Deut 16:6.
   
• The Israelites stay locked inside their houses till dawn on the 15th day, so as to comply with Exodus 12:22.
   
• After dawn on the 15th, the Israelites can come outside, then start borrowing gold, silver, cloth, animals, and whatever else they need for their trip, getting all of it from their grieving Egyptians neighbours so as to comply with Exodus 12:35-36.  These same neighbours want the Israelites out of Egypt as soon as possible, as stated in Exodus 12:33.
   
• The Israelites must leave the city of Rameses in sufficient light so the Egyptians can see them leave with high hands (ie. waving good-bye ?) so as to comply with Numbers 33:3.  Therefore the Israelites must leave in the morning or afternoon daylight period of the 15th day, or in the evening of the 15th before sunset.  If they were to leave after sunset, it would be the 16th day, violating Numbers 33:3.
   
• However Deut 16:1 and Exodus 12:42 says that the Israelites left Egypt in the night.  Leaving in the night means they would have left after sundown.  There is adequate light to clearly see from sundown till 30 minutes after sundown; after which it's too dark to see without artificial light, fire, or full moon. Remember, this isn't one person standing next to you in moonlight, as Exodus 12:37 tells us there were 600,000 men, so we can probably assume 600,000 women, and maybe 1.2 million children (likely many more), so at least 2.4 million people in total.  Crowd estimation techniques usually assume between 1 to 7 people per sq. m., averaging 2.5 people per sq. m..  This means the Israelite crowd leaving Egypt would be 979 m x 979 m, or 0.98 sq. km.  At sundown, you'd see the whole crowd, but 30 minutes later, you'd only see those people immediately in front of you, or nothing at all (depending upon the moonlight available).
   
• Therefore this case is self-conflicting because Numbers 33:3 requires Israelites to leave before sunset, but Deut 16:1 and Exodus 12:42 require the Israelites to leave after sunset (ie. in the night), a conflict that cannot be resolved.  Therefore the initial assumption fails, as it does not meet all of the Biblical requirements.   Let's try a different starting assumption.
   

If we assume the day starts at sunrise:

• The Passover lamb is slaughtered as the sun is going down on the 14th day, which is before sunset so as to comply with Exodus 12:6, and Deut 16:6.
   
• As soon as the sun sets Passover has started on the 14th day of the month; as compliant with our assumption that the day starts at sunrise, and Exodus 12:8.
   
• The Passover lamb is roasted and eaten on the night of the 14th day of the month.  This is compliant with Exodus 12:8 and Deut 16:6.
   
• The Israelites stay locked inside their houses till dawn.  Once the sun rises, it is now the 15th day of the month (per our starting assumption), and the Israelites can now come out, so as to comply with Exodus 12:22.
   
• After the Israelites come out of their house on the 15th, they start borrowing gold, silver, cloth, animals, and whatever else they need for their trip, getting all of it from their grieving Egyptians neighbours so as to comply with Exodus 12:35-36.  These same neighbours want the Israelites out of Egypt as soon as possible, as stated in Exodus 12:33.
   
• The Israelites must leave the city of Rameses in sufficient light so the Egyptians can see them leave with high hands (ie. waving good-bye ?) so as to comply with Numbers 33:3.  Therefore the Israelites must leave in the morning or afternoon daylight period of the 15th day, or in the evening of the 15th before sunset, or in the 30 minutes of dusk light between sundown and full night.  If they were to leave after sunrise the next day (ie. on the 16th day), this would violate Numbers 33:3.
   
• However Deut 16:1 and Exodus 12:42 says that the Israelites left Egypt in the night.  Leaving in the night means they would have left after sundown.  There is adequate light to clearly see from sundown till 30 minutes after sundown; after which it's too dark to see without artificial light, fire, or full moon.  This isn't one person standing next to you in moonlight, as Exodus 12:37 tells us there were 600,000 men, so we can probably assume 600,000 women, and maybe 1.2 million children (likely many more), so at least 2.4 million people in total.  Crowd estimation techniques usually assume between 1 to 7 people per sq. m., averaging 2.5 people per sq, meter.  This means the Israelite crowd leaving Egypt would be 979 m x 979 m, or 0.98 sq. km.  At sundown, you'd see the whole crowd, but 30 minutes later, you'd only see those people immediately in front of you, or nothing at all (depending upon the moonlight available), thereby violating Numbers 33:3.
   
• Therefore so as to satisfy Numbers 33:3, Deut 16:1, and Exodus 12:42, the Israelites must have left the city of Rameses Egypt between sundown on the 15th day of the 1st month, and 30 minutes after sundown, thereby leaving in the night.
   
• This case and its starting assumption (ie. day starts at sunrise) is totally compliant with all Bible verses.
   
• This case again proves that God's day starts at sunrise.

[Exo 14:24 KJV] "[24] And it came to pass, that in the morning watch the LORD looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians,"

When God was leading the Israelites out of Egypt, God had His cloud by day and His pillar of fire at night.  In Exodus 14:24, God looked out upon the host (ie. crowd) of Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud.  In this specific moment of time (ie. during the "morning watch"), there was both the pillar of fire, plus the cloud.

There were 4 watches during the dark hours (from sunset of the previous day, to sunrise of the next day).  The morning watch would be the 4th watch, the last watch before the sun rises.

Therefore "morning", or the "morning watch" is defined as the period when the sun is brightening up the night, just before the sun rises.

Summary

This Biblical research is important so that we can correctly fulfill our obligations to "Remember the Sabbath and keep it Holy...", and also the Holy Convocations which are also declared as Sabbaths by the Bible.  If we don't get the clock and calendar correct, we will profain the holy, and perform holy ordinances upon regular or unclean days and times.

The Bible says we only need 2 or 3 witnesses.  For the longest time, I had zero witnesses.  Fortunately, more and witnesses came forward from my research, and that of others.  Even though the "Customs of the Elders" is extremely strong, is not 10 witnesses enough to change even the most closed off mind?

If 10 witnesses are still not enough for you, then the Holy Spirit has obviously vacated you out of frustration, leaving behind the eternally arrogant, empty shell of a human behind.  God has left you with your strong delusion, and nothing can help you.  You are doomed to chronic, unrepentant sin and iniquity.  May God have mercy on your soul.

Part 1 provided the Matthew 28:1 proof (Mary at Jesus' sepulcher)

Part 2 provided the Genesis 19:30-38 proof  (Lot's Daughters)

Part 3 provided:

•  the Exodus 10:1-14 proof (Locusts Plague via Moses); and
   
• Hebrew Etymology for Dawn (Break) and Dusk (Blend Light with Dark)
   
• Other Biblical References to "Start of Day"
   
• YouTube Videos (by others) who discuss the Biblical Start of Day

Part 4 (this Posting) provided 4 additional arguments:

• Genesis 15:1-18 Abram's Covenant with God, Same Day proof
   
• Corruption and copying of ancient Babylon calendar, names of month, (and start of day?)
   
• God's early start of day
   
• Human nature
   
• Reviews how the first Passover shows that sunrise is the start of the day (Update #1, 2019-11-2)

If you can contribute any additional Biblical arguments, please post them below so as to help prove this case.  If you have Biblical arguments that defeat any of these 10 arguments in favor, please post it below so I can learn and correct my error.

Christian Day of Atonement Sabbath Sept. 26-27, 2019

If you are a True Christian who follows God's Laws, you need to participate in God's High Sabbath "Day of Atonement", starting tonight at sundown.  The Jewish call this Yom Kippur.

God's High Sabbath Day of Atonement starts on Thursday Sept. 26, 2019 at sundown, and continues to sundown on Friday Sept. 27, 2019.

Some feel God's Rapture of His remnant church may occur at some unknown time during this Day of Atonement Sabbath in 2019, so it's critical we get it right.  If you are too busy with your worldly activities, you are not Rapture Ready, and God will pass over you, leaving you behind.  If Rapture doesn't occur, it might be The Latter Rain, so you may miss out on that.  If none of the above, you at least don't add this sin of neglect of Commandment #4 (Remember the Sabbath & keep it Holy...) to your sin burden.  If not here, the next likely Rapture Date (or Latter Day Rain) is on or about Nov. 1, 2019.

Thursday Sept. 26, 2019 has a sunset of 7:19 PM EDT local sundown for me (yours may be different).

Sundown Thursday starts the "Day of Atonement" fast (no food, just water for 24 hrs) till sundown on Friday (7:17 PM for me local time).

This calendar date is based on Enoch's Calendar, according to Zadok Prients in Qumran and Book of Enoch, and Book of Jubilees.  Bible says Day of Atonement is from eve sundown on 9th day of 7th month, to eve sundown on 10th day.

Day of Atonement is a Sabbath according to Levit. 16:31, & 23:32.  No work whatsoever for you or anybody else within your gates.  We all must fast, afflict our souls, mourn, do pennance, remembering Joseph's blood soaked Coat of Many Colours (stripes like Jesus on the cross of crucifixion) that was presented to Jacob (father of Joseph) on this day.  See Genesis 37:3-37:35 .

Will you wear sackcloth & ashes like Jacob did while mourning the death of his favorite son Joseph?  I will.  I encourage you to do so also.

After 7:17 PM Friday, it's "Yom Kippur  Feast Time!" to celebrate the successful remission of all our sins through the blood of Jesus Christ for another year, continuing to our weekly Sabbath on Saturday Sept. 28 (11 day of 7th month).

Vacate Mecca, Saudi Arabia before Nov. 9, 2019

### 2019-11-2 Update #1 ###

Brexit did not occur as planned & expected on Oct. 31, 2019.  However the house of world's finances (stock markets, bonds, derivatives, real estate, global trade, etc.) is teetering at the edge of the cliff, as huge storm waves crash against the cliff, causing landslides every few minutes.  The fate is sealed, it's just a matter of time till the big landslide occurs, all of the world's investments are undermined, they collapse onto the rocks and waves at the base of the cliff, then are washed away to never be seen again.

Therefore stay under cover, keep your powder dry, do not be fooled by the eerie calm of today.

Nov. 9, 2019 is the 777th day after the biblical sign of Revelation 12 appeared in the heavens. The number "777" is biblical, associated with "Perfect Completion".  It is also the day that the Jewish calendar says Methusalah died.  In the Hebrew language, Methusalah means "after he dies, the end comes".  Jewish history says there was 3 days of mourning at his death, then the rain started for the Great Flood.

It is unknown who the modern day Methusalah will be, or exactly what will occur on Nov. 9th, 2019, but with the teetering house of world finances, the crashing waves, and the craziness everywhere, this can't continue forever.

May God bless you and keep you.  Be sure to pray continuously, read God's 26 Commandments for Christians, and follow the life saving instructions at the end.

Brexit delay may have also delayed false flag attack on Mecca.

### End of Update #1 2019-11-2 ###

Christians and all others in or around Mecca, Saudi Arabia.should carefully consider their soon evacuation of Mystery Babylon, or Babylon the Great as it is likely destroyed by God on or about Nov. 2, 2019 (delayed, likely on or after Nov. 9th, 2019, see Update #1 above).

We will only know for sure once the Bible's prophecies occur, but there is strong evidence to suggest Mecca is Mystery Babylon.  This warning is in accordance with Bible prophecy Revelation 18:4,

"And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues."

 How do we know that Mecca is Babylon the Great in the Book of Revelation?

Rome, Washington DC, San Francisco California USA, and many others claim to sit on 7 hills.  Of all the candidate cities for Mystery Babylon, only Mecca is on 7 mountains.  The KJV clearly says "mountains" in Rev. 17:9 . 

"And here is the mind which hath wisdom. The seven heads are seven mountains, on which the woman sitteth."

Only nuclear war or God could destroy a city the size of Mecca in one hour.   Rev. 18:4 (plus 18:17,19) say Mystery Babylon will be destroyed in 1 hour.

"Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come."

Rev. 18:8 says Babylon will experience death, fire, mourning, and famine all in one day:

Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.

I previously posted that a False Flag attack on Mecca would occur on or about Nov. 2, 2019 (delayed, likely on or after Nov. 9th, 2019, see Update #1 above), and Israel would be blamed for this attack.   For more on this, see here

For clarity, I am a Born Again Christian, and believe in peace and love for all humans.  I do not condone nor encourage anybody to criminal activities, nor terrorism, nor hate, nor bias, nor racism, nor prejudice, nor any other evils.  It is for these reasons that I share God's Word and warning about likely events in the near future.

Mecca and the Haj is a big money maker, the goose that keeps laying golden eggs, where millions come every year.

All rulers of all 50 Muslim- majority countries come to Mecca, and are under its control through Muslim clerics.  This is just as Rev. 17:18 says:

"And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth."

Mecca gains great wealth from the sea trade, mainly oil, plus all the high value goods & services that are purchased with the billions of petro-dollars.  Rev. 18:17-19 says:

"For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off, And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city!  And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate."

Rev. 18:12-13 refers to the great riches and trade that will soon be lost:

The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble,  And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men.

 Human slaves were openly sold public squares of Mecca until 1962.  Today, Saudi Arabia is a Tier 3 nation for human trafficking (ie. slavery and similar), and still does not meet  minimum international standards.  For example, two domestic workers were sold on Saudi social media pages in Feb. 2018, and otherwise.

When the AntiChrist arises on or about Nov. 21, 2019 he will give power to 10 kings.  These kings will attack, but God will defend.  After defeat at the hand of God, the 10 kings will work co-operatively under Satan to do God's will of turn against and destroying Mecca (and possibly Saudi Arabia as host of Mecca).  In Rev. 17:12-14, 16-17 says:

"And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as kings one hour with the beast [Satan].  These have one mind, and shall give their power and strength unto the beast [Satan].  These shall make war with the Lamb [Jesus Christ], and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with Him are called, and chosen, and faithful."

"And the ten horns [kings] which thou sawest upon the beast [Satan], these shall hate the whore [Mecca], and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.  For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil His will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast [Satan], until the words of God shall be fulfilled."

It appears that the 10 kings will sack and plunder Mecca, and make the city desolate.  But wait there's more (see below).

The 10 kings have no kingdom in Rev. 17:12, then receive power as kings from Satan in Rev. 17:12, give homage and allegiance to Satan, work co-operatively with one purpose in Rev. 17:13, make war against Jesus Christ and His troops in Rev. 17:14, be defeated by Jesus in Rev. 17:14, then the 10 kings attack Mecca in Rev. 17:16.  In Rev. 17:17, God confirms that it was God who caused these 10 kings to agree, work co-operatively, and fulfill God's plan to destroy Mecca.

Will Shia Muslims attack the holiest Islamic site in Mecca?  Seems far fetched.  However, Saudi Air Force just did a joint strike force with Israel's IDF jet fighters to attack Iranian troops inside Iraq.  Iran just launched cruise missles and drones against two Saudi crude oil processing plants, heavily damaging them.  Maybe Mecca is the next step in the Shia-Sunni civil war inside Islam.

Since Israel are a fallen people today with no belief in Jesus, and are apostate to God (ie. they're Rabbinical, not Torah Covenant based), it can't be Israel in Rev. 17:14 who are attacked and are with Jesus, as the Bible says they are "called, and chosen, and faithful".  That sounds more like the righteous remnant of Christ's Church, or those who have received God's seal, or recipients of The Latter Rain, or the 144,000.

Could Jesus and His troops be defending Israel from sure destruction by the 10 kings installed by Satan, per Ezekiel 37-38, or Psalm 83?  That seems like a reasonable possibility.  Is this a spiritual war, or just humans, or are there demon-possessed humans involved?  It's hard to know for sure.  Either way, Mecca gets destroyed.

On Jan. 17, 2019, a plague of locusts decended on Mecca.  This was likely a warning by God about the judgement that is soon to come onto Mecca.  From the locusts till the proposed Nov. 2, 2019 date of destruction, that is 289 days, which is 17 squared.  Biblical numerology says "17" represents victory and perfection, so 17 squared is a more powerful way of saying this.

Rev 18:20 says that those who have been persecuted by Mecca (and indirectly by Islam and Muslims) will rejoice over the destruction of Mecca.  I take no joy in the destruction of Mecca, nor the loss of one life;Muslim or Christian, or otherwise.  I therefore ask all Muslims in and around Mecca to convert to Christianity, then vacate the area before these events occur.  If not, then you have been warned, and may God's Will be done.

In Rev. 18:21 an angel cast a great stone into the sea, and referenced how Mystery Babylon will be destroyed with violence.

And a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone, and cast it into the sea, saying, Thus with violence shall that great city Babylon be thrown down, and shall be found no more at all.

While the 10 kings attacked, plundered, and left the Mecca desolate on or about Nov. 2, 2019 (delayed, likely on or after Nov. 9th, 2019, see Update #1 above), it appears that this huge meteor from God will finish the job, destroying everything totally.  It is unknown the duration of time between these two appointments with destruction.

When a meteor comes in at full speed and has a direct hit, it will look like a nuclear missile hit Mecca.  People will jump to conclusions, and worry about nuclear fallout, so nobody wants to go near.  That's why Rev. 18:4 says:   "Standing afar off for the fear of her torment,..." (see above).

God's Roadmap to the End:   New World Order Countdown

What Time is God's Time?

Your computer is likely syncronized with Internet time.  You need to be synchronized with God's time.

We all need to follow God's Laws.  We all have appointments and specific times when we must respond.  It is not good to keep God waiting, or never show up.  God gave us the sun, moon, and stars to sychronize all our clocks to God's time.  DO you know what time it is?

 We currently have the Gregorian calendar, the Muslim calendar, the Hebrew calendar, the Myan calendar, the Enoch calendar, and many more.  Which one is God's calendar?

If you follow 100% the Bible, and shun religious dogma of Church Elders, then the prove is here. 

First Witness:   Abrihim

Genesis 15:1-18 where Abrahim does his part of a new covenant during the day (birds flying) then sunset and dark, then God does His part of the Covenant in the same day, even though sunset occurred between the 2 parts of this Covenant, so sundown doesn't separate 1 day from another.

This means that God's day begins at sunrise.

Second witness:  

 Genesis 19:30-38 (Lot's daughters).  The daughters got the Old Man drunk, then had their way with him; eldest daughter the first night, younger sister the second night.  The text clearly describes the plotting during the day, the dirty deed after the sun went down, then discussions the next day about what they had done the night before.  The two different days with a night between clearly tells us the day changes with a sunrise.

Third Witness:  

 Matthew 28 :1

Mary going to the sepulcre in the dark at the end of Sabbath, as its dawning to the first day of the week.  The day clearly goes from sunrise to sunrise.

Biblical Ambiguity

All other Bible verses could be reasonably interpreted as both cases, sunrise or sunset, so they do not help decide this issue.

Fourth Witness:

Modern Jews of today name the months of the years with ancient Babylonian names, different than Biblical names.  Therefore we conclude that the calendar of modern Jews is corrupted by Babylonian paganism.  If Jews say sundown is start of day, and they are likely corrupted here in start of day if they are corrupted in names of months as well, then sunrise as start of day is more likely.

5th Witness:   God.  

God likes those who rise early in the morning to pray.  God also says we are children of the light, which is the day.  The importance of dawn and sunrise is a clue as to when a new day starts in God's mind.

6th witness:   Hebrew Language

The Hebrew words for evening refers to blending, as in the mixing of light & dark.

The dawn refers to break, separate, new beginning, referring to the old day comes to an end and a new day beginning. 

7th Witness:   Human Nature

We humans rise refreshed from sleep and start a new day at or about dawn, as do most animals.  Few people start their day at sundown, usually only when forced to do so by job and employers, or criminals (who are children of the dark).

Why Is This Important?

Changing to Sabbath is similar to those sinners who smoke, or do drugs, or do heavy drinking.  Likely all the sinners current friends do the same type of sins.  The sinner needs to say goodbye to their old friends and find new friends who do not sin like this.  You need to do the same for your current Sunday-worshipping friends.

Middle East War: The End

*** Begin Update #1 ***
The high watch dates on which these prophetic events were expected did not occur.  All of the prophecies had no specific dates attached to them, so the prophecies are still valid, still expected future events that are likely to occur in the near future.

Watch this Blog for future "High Watch" dates for these events.

*** End Update #1 ***

These are the last 7 to 9 days of calm before the Middle East storm begins.

The government of Israel is a lame duck, all factions jockeying for position to form a coalition.  Brexit is steaming full speed ahead on autopilot with nobody in the wheelhouse.  The cracks and trembling in world financial markets are spreading in magnitude, number of epicentres, duration, and frequency of occurrence. The USA is a wounded bear searching for its tormenter so as to counter-attack and avenge itself; all while it spirals downwards into unconsciousness, socialism, depravity, mental illness, tribal warfare, identity politics, addiction, and hopelessness.

Salvation Now!

During the calm before the storm that we currently "enjoy", somewhere on Planet Earth, about 2 people die every second.  If those people have not confessed their sins and belief in  Jesus Christ and the salvation of His blood shed on the cross of crucifixion, they are doomed to shoveling coal for Satan in Hell for all eternity.

During this Middle East conflict to arrive soon, million to billions of people may soon die.  You need to get the affairs of your life in order for what soon comes.  You may soon be next to die.

Middle East War

There will likely be a false flag attack on Mecca on or about Nov. 2, 2019.  It is unclear to me who will be the real instigator, but Israel will be blamed.  This event will instantly enrage all or most Muslim nations against Israel, leading to all-out war amongst them.  It is likely to become a nuclear &/or WMD war (eg. Sarin nerve gas, Mustard gas, Liquid chlorine, etc.).

That conflict will quickly spread around the world.  It will effect everywhere, even if you are in the back woods on the other side of the planet.

Time to Prepare

We all need a stash of water, food, fuel, batteries & radio, and cash to see us through what soon comes. Get stocked up NOW!

Dictator of the World

The UN and others will try to mediate and obtain a cease fire.  The Evil One will soon rise after this world wide crisis, to take advantage of it, to place the Evil One into the seat of power.  The Evil One will become the totalitarian dictator over the entire Planet Earth before Dec. 31, 2019.

All governments, of all 195 countries of today, will disappear.  The Evil Ones will have 3 to 4 "Advisors", likely former Leaders of the largest world governments (ie. USA, Russia, China, UN ?); all of whom will be "Yes Men" to the absolute power of the Evil One.  The world will be arranged into 10 geographical regions.  Other than this, all current governments will be obsolete.

Democracy will be obsolete.  Money will be obsolete.  Freedom will be obsolete.  Civil rights will be obsolete.  Rule of Law will be gone.  Truth will be obsolete.  Information will be controlled and manipulated.

You will do as you are told, or you will be immediately killed or disappear.

You will happily comply, or die.

3-Way Control of Your Life

Withstanding this short term crisis will be of no value if you accept and surrender to the Evil One soon thereafter.

No matter what the majority of sheeple do (ie. masses of people who act like sheep, right up to their slaughter), no matter how powerful the dictatorship becomes, know this:

You retain 100% control over what you THINK, FEEL, & BELIEVE. 

Even if the Evil One locks you in a jail cell, hangs you from the ceiling in chains, or puts a loaded gun to your head, you retain 100% control over what you THINK, FEEL, & BELIEVE.

For example, if someone unjustly hits you, you can choose to get angry, or equally well you can choose to cry, laugh, feel fear, smile as you think about your serene happy place memory, feel compassion for your attacker that they are so messed up that they decided to strike you, or say/think "Forgive them Father, for they know not what they do". It's your choice how you FEEL, 100% of the time.

As the reign of the Evil One proceeds for the next 3.5 years, you need to have the strength and continuous support of God through the bad times the Evil One will soon bring.

Be not afraid of the pain and suffering that the Evil One can (& soon will) inflict upon you, your family, & neighbours.

Instead, be afraid of losing your eternal life of peace & love in Heaven, all because you don't take advantage of the free offer of love & protection offered by Jesus Christ and the blood He shed for you and everybody else on His unjust cross of crucifixion 2,000 years ago.

Rapture &/or Latter Day Rain:  Nov. 1, 2019

God's Rapture, Latter Day Rain, or the placing of God's Seal of Protection on the True Christians may be occurring very soon (i.e. shortly before, during, or soon after the Middle East crisis; likely on Nov. 1, 2019).

These protection events of God are reserved for True Christians (ie. the Born Again Christians who obey God's 26 Commandments for Christians, and have their Baptism by Fire as they testify to others or preach the Gospel).

If you miss this deadline, you will have to suffer through the Evil Ones' persecution for the next 3.5 years.

You may have only a few hours or weeks left to implement God's plan to save you from eternally burning & torment in Hell for your sins: Believe in Jesus Christ; confess your sins; ask for God's forgiveness through the blood shed by Jesus Christ; turn away from your sins, and turn towards God; follow God's 26 Commandments for Christians (see Documents Tab of this Blog).

Do it now, or do it never.

Clues to AntiChrist's Identity

We have received clues to the identity of the AntiChrist.  Do the following clues remind you of somebody?

A recent video of Dr. Robert Mawire (and a second video here) provided a number of clues on the identity of the AntiChrist as provided by the Bible.  Did Dr. Mawire add  some special revelations he has received, or prioritized the Biblical clues so we can more easily guess (or know) the name and location of the AntiChrist?

The son of Satan, Apollyon, is currently in the Bottomless Pit.  When God's restraining force is soon removed, Apollyon will be able to rise from the Bottomless Pit, as described in Rev. 9:11

"And they had a king over them, which is the angel of the bottomless pit, whose name in the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the Greek tongue hath his name Apollyon."

Soon, a person well respected by Born Again True Christians, will be shot and killed.  The bullet will hit him in his arm, shattering it.  The bullet will exit from the arm and enter his right eye, permanently destroying the eye, and causing massive brain damage.  He will immediately fall back dead.  His soul will leave his body, but Apollyon, the evil spirit and son of Satan, will immediately enter that dead body, and demonically possess it.

It will seem like a medical miracle when this well respected man is soon revived and continues to live. However, his arm will no longer function and it will wither more and more over time.  Make no mistake, it is no longer the same man as before.  For it is no longer a man, but a corpse possessed by an evil spirit; the walking dead; a zombie of Satan.  Satan has reinacted the Invasion of the Body Snatchers.  This event is described in Zech. 11:17

"Woe to the idol shepherd that leaveth the flock! the sword shall be upon his arm, and upon his right eye: his arm shall be clean dried up, and his right eye shall be utterly darkened."

This isn't the frst time that Satan will try to graba respected dead body.  Jude 9 tells us that the Arch Angel Michael had to rebuke Satan so as to rescue the dead body of Moses.  After leading the Hebrews through the desert for 4 decades, walking with God on a daily basis, Satan wanted the still warm body of Moses so as to mislead the people through the evil spirit of Moses' body, as described in Jude 9:

"Yet Michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of Moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, The Lord rebuke thee."

Identification of the AntiChrist

According to Dr. Mawire, the AntiChrist:

1. Is the spiritual reincarnation of the Roman Empire's Leader Nero Claudius Caecsar Augustus Germanicus;
    
2. Decendant of Augustus Caesar
    
3. Worships & serves Sabo, Sabian god of war;
    
4. Is a Luciferian;
    
5. Is wise;
    
6. Is intelligent;
    
7. Understands and uses dark sentences (ie.occult, witchcraft, demons, conjuring, etc.);
    
8. Worships & serves Satan today;
    
9. Will eventually be possessed and fully controlled by Satan's evil spirit;
    
10. Looks attractive;
     
11. Is an excellent manipulator & controller of the people & situations that surround him;
     
12. Is a beast inside, but has learned to tame and hide his beastly nature, fooling almost everybody;
     
13. Is a villan, a social user & abuser, a narcissist, a wolf in sheep's clothing;
     
14. Is a destroyer, a user, antisocial, psychopath;
     
15. Wants to rule the entire world, all by himself;
     
16. Is augustus, wants to be exhaulted;
     
17. Has unique styling & shading of his red hair.  It has become somewhat gray, and a clear differentiation from all others (Note:  Caesar meand hair);
     
18. Is of white (ie. Caucasian) ancestry;
     
19. Has strong connections and ancestral roots to Germany, Italy, and Assyria (Southeastern Turkey & Northern Iraq); 

Based on the clues, do you have someone in mind?  A name?  A photo?  Please share some possible candidates.

Israel Elections: King Maker & God's End Time Process

Netanyahu must make a deal to form a government colition, so he can continue as Prime Minister & avoid jail.

Now that's some powerful motivation, both carrot and stick simultaneously.

The jail reference above is related to bribery & corruption allegations while he is Prime Minister, and prosecutors say it is a slam dunk conviction.  Other Israeli PM's have been accused in the past, and sent to jail.  Prosecutors will likewise convict & jail Netanyahu as soon as they get a chance, but as long as he is PM, policy says no charges and no court on a currently sitting PM.  But as soon as Netanyahu leaves his PM position, look out!

Will Netanyahu stoop so low, bend his principles, sell Israel down the river, and make a deal with the Devil, so as to save himself?

Time will tell.  I don't want to think badly of anybody, but:

• We are starting to learn how crafty Satan is;
   
• We know we are on the verge of entering End Times;
   
• God's plan (unknown to me except via Bible prophecy) must continue exactly as planned;
   
• Something like Netanyahu's current crisis will eventually have to occur if this current crisis isn't it.
   
• The Blue & White party, neck & neck with Netanyahu in the election outcome, are likely anxious to make a deal so they can get into power, so if Netanyahu won't do the deal with the Devil, then Blue & White will likely jump at the chance.
   
• Netanyahu, knowing that Blue & White will likely do similar to what he is forcec to do will likely do it first and save himself, rather than allowing Blue & White to make the deal and Netanyahu's life gets flushed down the toilet.  Rationalization that Israel gets sold out either way is a powerful motivator for us wicked humans.

Therefore I regretably conclude Netanyahu will make the deal with the Devil so as to save himself, or the Blue & White will take the Deal with the Devil if Netanyahu fails to do so.

The Arab faction worked hard to get the vote, out and won a number of seats in the Knesset.  Netanyahu has said he will form his colition with anybody except the Knesset-elected Arabs, so that means Netanyahu's coalition will be with the hawkish Avigdor Lieberman, or the ultra Orthodox faction.

Lieberman was the former Israeli Defense Minister who resigned in Nov. 2018 when his recommended retaliation attack against Gaza's chronic provocations and attacks against Israel was rejected by Netanyahu in favor of another ceasefire.  If Lieberman decides to allow Netanyahu to continue in government as PM, he obviously will want some concessions, a more hawkish approach no doubt.  Lieberman appears to be the Kingmaker for the next Israeli government ie.either Natanyahu or Blue & White).

Dr. Robert Mawire (Pastor in a Texas USA church, who has a strong connection with Israel) has claimed to be God's prophet, and to have twice warned Netanyahu (and once warned Aerial Sharone) that God would not tolerate any "land for peace" deal, and if the PM dared to endorse such a deal, God would remove them as Israel's leader.  First time, Netanyahu didn't listen, and his government collapsed shortly after backed a "land for peace" deal.  Ariel Sharone was Prime Minister from 2001 - 2006, and was warned by Dr. Mawire also, but Sharone didn't listen to God either, so Sharone had an incapacitating stroke shortly after backing a "land for peace" deal, was in a coma for many years, then died in 2014.  Dr. Mawire re-warned Netanyahu in 2009 when Netanyahu regained his Prime Minister leadership position; no "land for peace" deal will be tolerated by God.

I don't know if Lieberman has been cautioned yet by one of God's prophets (or by Netanyahu).  Possibly Lieberman will be inclined to do a "land for peace" deal, and will force Netanyahu's hand in spite of God's warning.

If Netanyahu makes the deal with the ultra orthodox, that likely means a settlement land grab, nationalizing disputed territories, taking control of Temple Mount, building the Third Temple, restarting animal sacrifices, and so on.  Any or all of that will likely drive Palastinians and their Muslim allies crazy, especially Shia Muslims in Iran, leading to immediate war against Israel.

Either way, it's war.

Sounds like God will allow Satan to get his way on this round, so as to move things along to the final outcome.

Prepare yourselves for Middle East War.

As stated previously, it may go nuclear soon after it starts.

Please!   Become a Born Again Christian

None of the above worries me, because in Feb. 2019, I moved from my 52 years of luke-warm, nominal Christian life, and became a Born Again Christian.

You can do it too.

Salvation from Hell and eternal life of peace and harmony in Heaven is a limited time offer for all who choose to be Born Again Christian.  When you were conceived, your name was written in God's Book of Life.  Sin, if left to fester and convict, will kill the deal, and blot your name out from the Book of Life.

If you confess your sins, repent, and ask for forgiveness through the blood of Jesus Christ, turn away from sin and turn towards God and His God's 26 Commandments for Christians, then you too can be saved.

Once you make the first move, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit will fill you up, and help you continue to run away from sin and towards God, more & more, faster & faster.  You are now a Child of God, and will be granted peace and everlasting life in Heaven, and saved from the risk of Hell.

Don't delay.  There may soon be Rapture, or "Latter Day Rain", where Born Again Christians are translated to Heaven &/or sealed by God and strengthened from God's Judgements and Satan's persecutions.  This may be occurring some time in the next few days or weeks, nobody knows for sure.  Limited time opportunity!

For those who are still half baked Christians when Rapture, or "Latter Day Rain" occurs, you will have to continue through war (likely nuclear), famine, plagues, persecution, earthquakes & other weather disasters; the worst, most terrible times you could imagine, as you try to remove sin from your life.  After that, you only have 2 ways out:

1. As a martyr in Christ, dying as Satan's victim of persecution by beheading; or alternatively
    
2. Giving up on Christ, your salvation, and Heaven by accepting Satan's Mark of the Beast and choosing to go to Hell for eternal burning and torment (see below).

Today is the best day to turn from your sins.

How to Become A Child of Satan

Every day you delay from becoming a Child of God, your conscience inside you (the only part of you that knows right from wrong) is beaten down, dulled, and becomes weaker & weaker.  As you grow into your sins more and more each day, your conscience and the Holy Spirit inside you become weaker & weaker, and will eventually find your corrupt body no longer fit for habitation, so that eventually God's Holy Spirit will leave you, and you are doomed.  God calls this the hardening of your heart, like what happened to Pharaoh in Exodus when he refused to let Moses & God's people go.

You are now the tool of Satan, there is no hope for you.  Chronic sin has caused you to repeatedly reject the Holy Spirit, thereby committing blasphamy against the Holy Spirit again & again; the only unforgivable sin (see here, here, and here).  You are now ready to accept the Mark of the Beast, and become a full fledged Child of Satan.  You now have reserved seating in Hell, to be burned & tormented forever & ever.

Conclusion

Today is the best day to turn from your sin.  DO IT NOW!
